Guardian Redeemer

Isaiah 47:4

Our Redeemer, the Lord Almighty is His name, is the Holy One of Israel.

A guardian redeemer back in the day was a near relative of a man who had died and left his widow in a difficult situation. Elimelech and his two sons had died, leaving Naomi and Ruth behind. Boaz was a relative of Elimelech, thus, Boaz became the guardian redeemer of Naomi and Ruth. Boaz bought the land that belonged to Elimelech and his sons, and he took Ruth as his wife. By doing this, Elimelech’s property would stay with his family. He rescued Naomi and Ruth from their difficult situation. Then, Boaz, Ruth and Naomi lived happily as one family.

Sometimes, like Naomi and Ruth, we might be in a difficult situation that is just beyond our control. We need a guardian redeemer that can rescue us from this hopeless situation. Our guardian redeemer is Jesus Christ. Not only can He rescue us from our difficult situation, He can also rescue us from eternal death. 

By confessing that Jesus is our Lord and Saviour, we become part of Jesus’ family. As part of His family, we are eternally saved because He will take care of us to eternity. 

Prayer

Dear Jesus, thank You for forgiving all of my sins and for redeeming my life from eternal death. Thank You for rescuing my soul. I praise You! Amen.
